My germinated seed problem.

I had a germinated seed and was in a rush so i put it in a shot glass with some Scott potting soil, with the 'protrusion' sticking out of the soil, with the seed 1/2" down. Well today was his first day in the sun and my little 'protrusion' shriveled up, i panicked so i transplanted it into a party cup and it was long but it was all coiled up so i tried not to pack the soil too tight around it.
Will my little buddy live D:

you mean to only protrusion from the seed up? thats the tap root and when you germ if theres no green you just burry it 1/4" in soil it will find its way up. but if you mean the green part then its too young for direct hot sunlight try putting them in a window seal or shaded sun light till a few weeks old and took to the dirt real good. hope it ok man.

It sounds like you planted your seed upside down. The tap root points down in the soil. I hope I read that correctly.

that is funny. not laughing at you but it funny. dude you planted it root side up

I had figured i had planted it upside down LOL, my thumb isnt very green.... he seems to be ok today though. Thanks guys
